Congratulations to the new Dr (with minor corrections) in the Benitez-Alfonso lab/ house @KirkPip. THANK YOU to super examiners Brendan Davies and @Ana_CanoDelgado . I (and all your friends at Leeds) can't wait to celebrate this milestone

Hi everyone, this is my Plectranthus verticillatus (Swedish ivy but comes from SA). This is a cutting of my grandparent’s plant that they have had since the 70’s. Great for those shady corners. Super easy to grow and propagate. This plant is precious to me @houseplanthour.

It’s neither Swedish or an ivy!

I think it depends on the pet! I’m lucky that my cat doesn’t seem to be interested (apart from using them as a pillow).

Hello! I’m Jade and I am a PhD student in the @SpoelLab. I currently work on understanding how plants regulate responses to environmental stress by signalling via oxidants and antioxidant systems. #BlackBotanistsWeek 1/4

Sequencing sample lost again by GATC @eurofins. Customer ‘service’ insinuate that I must have lost it. Strange considering that they’ve admitted to losing my sample before! Not impressived, won’t be using again

Fantastic careers advice from Ollie ⁦@SingerInst⁩. Pitched perfectly for PhD students looking to breakout into industry. It might not look it but there are loads of people in this room! ⁦@BBSRC⁩
